It was cold, dreary, snowy, and worse for this shoot! The snow was pretty deep, but thanks to our recent Arctic Vortex (which would be an awesome name for a Swedish speed metal band), it was frozen pretty solid. Not solid enough to hold me up, but it kept Kayla and Aubrey from sinking in too badly. My knees were frozen, as I was kneeling in the slushy top layer of snow (it had snowed a couple of inches of wet snow during the day).

Anyhow, Kayla was an amazing model, as usual. I really need to work with her more often.

Thank you to Aubrey Castleberg for capturing some behind the scenes photos!

No, honey! It's not what it looks like! Behind the scenes photo courtesy of Aubrey Castleberg

Based on our relative states of dress, I couldn't complain about the cold at the time, but I can here and now!Behind the scenes photo courtesy of Aubrey Castleberg

Kayla and Aubrey look through the raw photos in the warmth of Kayla's car.

Haven’t done a shoot just for fun in ages. What a ton of fun, Larissa! Let’s do it again!

I’ve lost track of this trip. We’re in California somewhere. We are between one third and one half finished. I wish I could do this forever. This picture isn’t great. Foreground. Middle ground. Background. The light. It’s not a keeper but I love it. It makes me miss the west. The desert. The mountains. I love Wisconsin, but the west is who I am. Rambling done. I hope you enjoy this picture. It made me feel. #loveyourlife

Are the #SuperstitionMountains not some of the most beautiful mountains anywhere? I could spend a lifetime out there shooting.

I should have run a time lapse on this. It would have been interesting to see the figure dance. 🎼💃🕺🏽🎶

Even if I’m only here for 48 hours, it’s always home. #abq

Took some time out from Taylor’s senior portrait session to get some photos of her and her sisters. Two of the three have played for me - one on varsity and one as an eighth grader - and now the youngest will be a freshman so it won’t be long! I love these kids. #spsoccer
